  1. What's new in this club
  2. Zed
    think it's a Jeep problem, I also have it on my Grand Cherokee Hemi WK and chose to ignore it by doing top-ups if the oil dipstick says so.,, it's good your car is still under warranty so you should get that job done for free, for the rest of us old car & out-of-warranties, the labor cost doesn't justify simple top-ups 😂

    Update is it’s gonna be in the shop a few days , wasn’t coolant, on actually putting it on the ramp it’s the classic Jeep pentastar 3.6 crankshaft seal leak, on a engine with only 33k ! @Srikumar

    Many thanks Mario for your help and clear explanations, I am happy that you got it sorted out in the end! I assume that is quite nice to inflate all 4 tires in the same time

    Hi @Dan S - the original idea is available in YouTube, search for "The Wifey Air System", the basic set up is a compressor feeding 4 lines through a manifold, a valve, a pressure gauge etc. While researching the parts I decided to add the tank and the remaining parts to safely operate it. The 2nd compressor is optional, I added it because fuses were being blown frequently in my first compressor installation, but later I found out that the installation was done incorrectly the garage (they even used wires of wrong capacity, I was lucky I did not get a fire as it was a big mess). As to the parts: I had one compressor and got a used one that was later refurbished, the remaining parts were sourced through Amazon (AE and US). The Viaair tank is available locally and through Amazon (AE). If time permits I will try to put a list and share it. In terms of getting the job done: I was lucky to find a small "boutique" garage that had started operations, they had time and a good electrician that did the cleanest installation I've seen so far. Unfortunately I cannot recommend you anymore than research for garages that focus on projects for overlanding and for you to design the system to your specs, discuss it with the garage and scrutinize every step, and then test the system thoroughly until you are satisfied. Hope this helps!

    @Rafey Hashmi I have done Yellow Truck a couple of times. Once in FB (2020) convoy doing 101 km (GaiaGPS) and another time in a FB+ convoy (2021) (GaiaGPS) driving about 146 km. There was however a significant length of the drive done on a pilon track. Both times I carried 40l. For FB I didn’t fill till I reached the end point but for FB+ I did fill in 20l during lunch stop and remaining at the end. Note that in the desert I drive diligently conserving fuel, by keeping the auto stop-start on as well as switching off the car whenever we had any stoppages. This time around we will drive approximately 100-110 km through the desert without any pillion track. I would recommend that you carry a minimum of 20l of fuel. 40l fuel, however, is an ideal recommendation considering the inordinate delays that could happen in the desert and there won’t be any nearby fuel stations unlike here when we drive in Dubai. We will update the recommendation again when the track is done, and the convoys are near finalized. PS: the FB+ drive was longer since we had to recover a car from the drive, and it took about 40 km otherwise it would have been 100km drive as well.

    Hey @Looperhow many jerry cans would a Jimny require?
  18. Cha
    then we definitely exceeded 30kmh, we had a couple of refusals and lost track. but also because all these I could sync more with the Pajero!😈 look forward to more chaos this Saturaday! pleasure driving behind you - A beneficiary of your newly upgraded exhaust system during the drive😄
  19. Looper
    I was actually hoping we’d do 30+ kmph moving avg speed, alas. The problem with Gaia GPS is if you stop for say 2-3 min or even a bit more and then start driving, it doesn’t count it as stopped time dragging down the overall moving average speed, as the time is not considered for as stopped. It starts to count as stopped but if you move it removes it from stopped.
  20. Cha
    I knew we were moving fast but didn't think its anywhere at 28kmh average moving speed, while climbing the medium and big dunes, thank you @Looper and the rest of the convey.
  21. Srikumar
    Hope you are ok.
  22. Patrick van der Loo
    Apologies Looper. Have a work obligation Saturday to attend
  23. Mahmoud Taha
    Maybe it's a reason to change to intermediate. @Srikumar🫣 Sorry i need to remove myself. I have a minor accident and i dropped the to garage to fix.
  24. Looper
    No worries there will be more such drives in the future. There’s always a next time.
  25. Looper
    Wow 😮 you are in fact in the second lead. The names in my previous post is my tentative convoy order. For a change I have a convoy order as well this time 😜.
  26. Zed
    Put me in 2nd Lead and that discipline will be tested 😂 *joking, i won't separate the convoy, most probably 50m left & right from marshal's footpath 😁
  27. Looper
    PS l: welcome back @Christian Andras. It has been 25 months since I last drove with you. Glad to see you on the convoy.
